Artist Bruce Gray's squished paint on glass paintings

I had fun with my first glass and squashed paint experiment, so here is my second attempt. This one has 3 layers of glass, and 2 layers of paint. This photo is just a close up on about 10 inches of the painting. I have to say, I am diggin' the patterns.

New Kinetic Art Sculpture Commission by Bruce Gray

This is Leaves of a Feather, my latest mobile sculpture. It was tricky to make because the client liked a previous mobile I had made but wanted the sizes altered. This adds a lot of extra work and calculating, but I am pleased with it. Powder coating makes it all glossy and perfect. This sculpture is in a private collection.

Mixed Metals Abstract Modern Wall Sculpture by Sculptor Bruce Gray

Tah Dah! Here is my finished wall sculpture "Red Dot #3." It is 44x44x4, and made from steel, disk brushed stainless steel, and hot roll steel plate. I used copper and various combinations of patinas, as well as red, black, gray, and holographic paints. The fun part of this type of sculpture is that it is meant to evolve and change as the rust spreads and deepen in tone, and the patinas continue to develop. There are three hidden mounting holes covered by parts held on by super strong neodymium magnets.

Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas Acquires a Bruce Gray Abstract Wall Sculpture

I just installed my latest wall sculpture at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas today. I am glad to say that the installation went well, and they are very pleased with it. While I was there working, I got a call from a school that is interested in commissioning a large one of my robots sculptures and using the image for their mascot, like printing it on T shirts for all the kids etc. Cool!

Shameless Self Promotion

Sorry about another bit of shameless self promotion, but my new best friends from the TV show Shameless just came by and picked up 8 more sculptures that are going to be featured in multiple episodes this new season. We all got a good workout moving around some very heavy sculptures this morning.

The Big Cheese #4 is a sculpture of a giant wedge of swiss cheese fabricated in welded aluminum by sculptor Bruce Gray.  This is one of the five versions of the "Big Cheese" created by Gray so far.  It has many bubbles of various diameters overlapping and connecting from one side to another.  This sculpture appeared on HBO's Six Feet Under, in several books and magazines, and was mentioned in Ripley's Believe it or Not.  See this sculpture revolve and also see the TV stills at:
